Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday vowed to hold a vote this week on Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
“Let me make it very clear: the time for endless delay and obstruction has come to a close. Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination is out of committee, we’re considering it here on the floor. And Mr. President, we’ll be voting this week,” McConnell said in a speech to the Senate.
The FBI is currently investigating sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh following Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, but the probe — which began Friday — has been limited to a week.
Kavanaugh denies the allegations.
